Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter (softened)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Add-ins
- 3 tablespoons blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, softened butter, and vanilla bean paste, stirring well to create a smooth batter.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spoon, being careful not to crush them to maintain their texture and bursts of flavor.
- Microwave the cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Afterward, check the cake’s texture; if it’s not fully set or cakey, microwave for an additional 10 seconds. Total cooking time should be between 60 to 90 seconds.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cake cool for about 1 minute before eating directly from the mug. This ensures it firms up slightly and is safe to eat without burning your mouth.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, add them directly without thawing.
- Adjust sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative to make it dairy-free.
- Make sure the butter is softened to mix evenly into the batter.
- Microwave times may vary based on your microwave’s wattage, so watch carefully to avoid overcooking or dryness.
